I saw this story online tonight and thought I would
share. My own dreams of being an Olympic athlete were crushed when I found out
I had cancer so I can only imagine how hard this fight has been.
Read it here The Morgan Rathke Story
She sounds like a fighter! I have been enjoying watching
the Olympics with my 4 year old this year. He loves the swimming! My favorite
of course has been the track and field. While I always feel a little sad
knowing I will never know what that feels like, I can't help but have a sense
of pride for my country. It truly is amazing to watch all these athletes who
have giving up so much blood, sweat and tears to compete for their country.
They are so focused and willing to sacrifice anything and everything in order
to win that prize; The Gold Medal. I feel like we all should try to have that
dedication in our lives with our walk with the Lord. That focus and willingness to not be distracted by anything that could stand in the way. I am running for the crown that will never
fade and a prize that is far more valuable than gold. I may not get that gold here on earth but my
medal is waiting in heaven. It makes me think of 2 Timothy 4:7 and says,
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith." What distracts you from running your race and keeping the faith?
